The answer is yes, but after I washed the Creami pint I noticed that the blades had gouged the container. You can see them near the top of the picture of the container. Did this happen because the machine didn't have enough mix to work with? Or is there some other reason?
I've spun a lot of half-size batches but haven’t experienced any scratching or gouging of the containers yet. Ninja said that down to 1/3 was OK with a level surface. Maybe contact them? It seems to be an issue that's reported fairly often.
Edited to add this from the FAQs in the Ninja Creami website:
Is there a minimum fill line for ingredients added to the pint before processing?
There is no minimum fill line. We recommend filling the pint at least half way to the MAX FILL line to achieve the best output texture. Filling below this level will not harm the machine, but adding a very small amount of ingredients to the pint may result in an output with suboptimal texture.
